 Second heat-Before this heat Charlie Ho- gan was selling at the pools for $25 against the field for $7, and buyers of the field were not numerous as it was conceded by most Of the horsemen present that the favorite would win the race, as she was booked to do so. The horses made a much better start this time, and at the quarter Charlie Hogan and Judge Davis were trotting neck and neck, with Tom Rogers third and Wentworth, driven by
  place. The two leading horses kept their positions throughout the half, and at the turn to come down the stretch Charlie Hogan, began to pull ahead of Judge DaYls, who tried to keep the place, and in doing so went into the air, and before she got her feet again had fallen back to fifth position, while Tom Rogers was trotting second. When near the flag Wentworth began to stretch himself under the skillful handling of Murphy, and before people began to real ize the fact he was trotting close to the wheel of Charlie Hogan, the leading horse, and with urging passed under the wire first a neck ahead of Charlie Hogan, winning the heat amid the loud applause of those pres nt.
